Here's some must-read material for the weekend. Mental Floss somehow managed to pull off the impossible, and got an interview with the infamously press-shy creator of Calvin & Hobbes, Bill Watterson—proving once again why they're one of the best publications out there right now. It's Watterson's first interview in years, and it's a great read. The full interview is only available in the print issue of Mental Floss, but here are some excerpts, including Watterson's thoughts on animating Calvin & Hobbes:
None
How he thinks Calvin & Hobbes fits into today's culture:
None
And whether or not he's ever peeled one of those stupid Calvin stickers off a pick-up truck:
None
Considering the fact that Watterson didn't even give an interview to Joel Allen Schroeder's documentary about him, Dear Mr. Watterson, this is all pretty significant. You can check out more excerpts over here at Mental Floss, as well as their excellent cover art.
